232 [aOSTICCtTCBAU] OPERATIONS FOE DECEMBER. The genoral directions given for the latter part of last month, apply to the present one when the weather is not too severe. In the Kitchen Garden, when the ground is not too wet or frozen, trenching, digging and ridging may proceed. In mild weather, trans planting may be done, and in frosty weather get manure upon the ground. All hardy per rennials may bo set out, if not done last month, such as Sea Kale, Rhubarb, Asparagus, but the roots must not be exposed to cold winds or frost, and after planting cover the beds with lit ter. If not already done, gather and store win ter cabbage; it keeps best with its roots planted in the soil, on the nortli side of a fence or build ing. with a few plank thrown over, to screen the heads from die sun while frozen. See that all work neglected or unfinished last’ month now ] goes on. English Peas of the early sorts and Broad j Beans may bo planted, though there is but little gained thereby, except in the low country. Protect Asparagus, as directed last month, if not already done. Collect forest leaves, swamp earth, decayed tan, or sawdust to litter the yards and stables and increase the supply of ma nure. Collect peabrush, beanpoles, stalks and supports of all kinds and prepare them in in bad weather, under cover, for spring use. set up a stock of tallies to bo ready as needed. In the Fruit Garden give the roots of the vine, Pear, and other fruit trees, their annual dressing of manure, do not spade it in but dig it in with a broad tined fork and the surface roots, so es sential to the prouctiveness of most trees, will be uninjured. Pruning should now rapidly go on, beginning with the vine apple or pear. Reserve the peach and other stone fruits until towards spring as pruning uow is thought to hasten their period of blossoming in the spring; clear away all the dead wood and useless spray. Do not prune anything during heavy frosts. Take up worn out fruit trees and shrubs of all kinds and plant young ond vigorous ones in their stead, but do not put in their places other trees of the species but a dif ferent sort entirely unless you choose to remove the whole body of soil into which the roots of the old tree extended and supply its place en tirely with fresh soil. The secret of raising Raspberries with success is to shift the location of the plants and put them in fresh soil every three or four years. Do not let an entire orchard or plantation of fruits get w’orn out arid fail at the same time. In transplanting, do no fear to prune freely your young trees and vines. They will bo larg er a year lienee if well shortened in when plan ted out. Scions of all kinds may now be cut and pre served in the soil or in close tin boxes ready for use in the grafting season. Protect your figs by a screen of evergreen bushes put over to shield them from the sun when frozen. In the Fbwer Garden and Shrubbery, cut off and remove the decayed stalks of chrisanthe mums and other plants, carry oft' the fodder leaves and dig the borders thoroughly with the fork taking care not to injure bulbs therein. Around the roots of the plants and shrubs not fully hardy place a mulching of light litter, leaves or moss. If leaves, cover them lightly with soil, to prevent their being blown off, a few evergreen twigs stuck into the soil about a young tender rose just planted out are a great protection to it in severe weather and will often save its life. Continue in mild, dry weather operations upon ground such as grading terracing laying out walks, laying turf, Ac. Procure and plant all hardy flowers, shrubs and perennials. Os shrubs, some of the best deciduous ones are the red and blush, Pyrus Japponiea, Persian and other Lilacs. Mock Orange, (Philadelphuscoro naria), Roses of sorts, Azalea calendulacer, Ja pan corchorus, Speroa prunifolia (double),. S- Reovesii (double and single) Calycnnthus, double Hanthorus, Florreny ast, Deutzia Scalra and Gracilis. Altheas, Snowball, Weizelia, Rosea and Amalalis. Rhus Continus, Snowberry, Irce Paeonia, Forsythia, Dwarf Almond, Yitex Ag nus Castus, Daphne Mczereum, Ac. Evergreen shrubs do better in general it planted in spring just a9 the season opens. Box edgings may however be set at any time during the winter when the soil is fit and the weather is mild. Plant only at such times, exposing the roots of no plant to frost and drying winds. In the pit. the store plants must be kept rath er dry, giving water as they need more abun dantly to those in a growing state, and very lit tle to such 09 are dormant. Give pleuty of air in mild weather and cover the frames with shut ters or mats in time of severe frosts, keep the plants free from dead leaves and damp litter. Loosen the soil when green or hard. See that the drainage of the pots is perfect. If any Dah lia tubers are still out better take them up some sunny day, dry them and keep in a dry. place freo from frost. — Wash fob Buildings. —The following recipe was sent by a gentleman of New Orleans to his friend in Philadelphia, who writes that the wash was satisfactorily tested upon the roof of the Phoenix Foundry, in that neighborhood. It is not only a protection against fire, but renders brick work impervious to water. The basis is lime, which must bo slacked with hot water in a tub, to keep in the t steam. It should then be passed, in a semi-fluid state, through a fine sieve. Take six quarts of the fine lime, and one quart of clean rock salt, for each gallon of water the salt to be dissolved by boiling, and the impuri ties skimmed off. To fivo gallons of this mix ture, salt and lime, add one pound of alum, half a pound of copperas, three-fourths of a pound of potash, the last to bo added gradually, four quarts of fine sand, or hard wood ashes. Add coloring matter to suit the fancy. It should bo applied with a.brusli. It looks as well as paint, and is as lasting as slate. It stops small leaks, pre vents moss from growing, and renders the work incombustible.—[.V. }' Farmer. SOVSSXKS m£l MJJ BIB.KBIBK. MONTICELLO HIGH SCHOOL.

It has no unpleasant smell. It will not destroy seed by contact. It Is fine powder; ready for application. It will resist drought. * It will prevent or lessen rust. It will cause earlier maturity. It is a permanent manure, enriching the Soil. It is guaranteed to be of uniform quality. We subjoin an extract from a letter of A. L. Alexan der, Esq., of Wilkes Co.; Washington, 12th Nov., 1859. “I like the result of my experiment with‘Hoyt,’ and my trial acres have attracted much attention. The Com has been gathered, and the ratio of manured to unma nured. is as 25 to 11, or 100 to 44. In a favorable season, it would have been greater.

THERE is great demand for a strong and permanent “ Fertilizer,” and experience of late years has prov en the inefficiency of imported manures for securing crops and renovating soils. To meet the wants of the times, and give to exhausted lands of the Atlantic and Gulf countries, a superior fertilizer at moderate cost, we have pleasure in calling attention to the valuable compound made at the Highlands, New Jersey, and en titled the “NATIONAL FERTILIZER,” suited to staples of every section. It is composed of fresh bones, finely ground, ami tbor ongiy dissolved by Sulphuric Acid, thusaffording food in really form for assimilation to plant. With these as con stituting the basis for Phosphate of Lime, are then also commingled large proportions of Marine Fish, King Crabs, and other Crustacea, yielding the properties Am monia—as deposited by birds of tbe Guano Islands. To prevent escape of this volatile element, a modicum of Green Shell Marl is used. By virtue ofthis the ammonia resulting from decomposed fish, is at once fixed and laid dormant, till by natural process it is set free, and grad ually absorbed by vegetation as it progresses. With three important essentials. Potash and Soda, as combined with soluble Silica, arc chemically manipulated, and the entire mass Is ultimately made fine, dry, and immediate ly applicable to soil. The “ National Fertilizer,” as shown in Circulars, is so compounded by change of these and other valued ingredients, os to be suited in diversi ties to any particular staple of the United States. The Company's Works and Fisheries are very extensive, and though their enterprise is but recently started, they have a large and growing trade. They manufacture one Fer tilizer for the Cereal Grains, Cotton. Vegetables. Ac., and another specifically for Tobacco, and another for Sugar Cane ; thus giving to plants those aliments peculiarly adapted to them, and which, by rotation of crops, they are known to extract constantly from tho land. Analy ses and certificates establish the results of this manure. It is 30 percent less cost per ton than Peruvian Guano, but requires heavier application as a sure and lasting ren ovator. The National Fertilizer fulfils the two-fold ob ject of being stimulant to growth, and invigorator to soil. Mode of use: broadcast sowing—drilling—or deposit ing in hills. It possesses but half the moisture of Guano, and suffers less deterioration by carriage. Price S4O per Ton. of 2000 lbs, but up in strong bags of 200 poti nils each, or in new barrels, all stamped with Company's brand, and shipped to any order in the United States. Agents established in all the cities. A fair trial, with discreet and liberal attention, is solicited. CARMICHAEL A BEAN, Agents, Augusta, Go. LEWIS M. HATCH, Agent, Charleston, S. C.

ASTERS seeking Manures, will recollect that Rhodes' Super-phosphate is the only Manure the late eminent Analytical Chemist, Prof. Bickcll, of Mary land pronounced Standard ! and which has been con firmed by every section Into which this Manure has been introduced. This Manure is sold under a legal guarantee of Purity and Freedom from all Adulteration, from the eminent Manufacturing Chemists, Messrs. Potts A Klett, under whose (icrsonal supervision Rhodes’ Snpc- Phosphate is manufactured. This Manure has been used in South Carolina for several years past, with great success, in the culture of Cotton and Corn, and is now thoroughly es tablished for these im|>ortant staples. Do not let the sea son pass without the experiment. Read the annexed letters from gentlemen who have tried it the past season. J. A. ANSLEY A CO, No. 800 Broad St, Augusta, Ga. Athens, Ga., Nov. 22, 1859. Dear Sir: Rhodes' Super-phosphate has been applied by me this year, on a small scale, to both Corn and Cot ton. The result exceeded my expectation, althougn the experiments, for many reasons, were not, and could not be conducted with due caution ; yet I am entirely satisfied that the growth of weed, in botli instances, and the fruit in corn and in the number of bolls of Cot ton, were fully double the yield In the portions unma nured, and this when only a tablespoonful of the Super- Phosphate was applied as a top-dressing to each hill of Corn, and a tea-S|>oonful to each stalk of Cotton—and the last as late In the season as the 18th of July. Some of the Weed grew to nine feet high, with six feet branches, covcredVith bolls, while the unmanured was not half so good. It is my intention next year to test it more fully. Very respectfully, Your most ob’t serv’t. (Signed), M. C. M. HAMMOND. Union Point, (O. R. R.) Nov. 28, 1859. Messrs. J. A. Anrley A Co—Gents : 1 bought a ton of Rhodes’ Super-Phosphate in Baltimore, last Spring, through Mr. 11. D. Leltner, of Berzelia, to test its value as a Manure. I put about 125 pounds on an acre of Cot ton, In the drill, on land that would not make over 75 to 100 pounds of Seed Cotton per acre, without manure.— The result is entirely satisfactory. I have made at least 450 to 500 pounds to the acre on this very poor land. I expect to purchase from 5 to 8 tons for my spring crop. My overseer wishes me to put his name to this also.
